[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The covid-era student loan program changes have turned the the economic incentives for parents completely upside down. Anyone not taking out loans right now has not been paying attention. [/quote] What are the Covid-era loan changes you are talking about? Do they apply to unsubsidized Stafford loans? I have one kid in undergrad and one in grad. We’re paying cash right now but does it make sense to take out a loan? What are the rates like?[/quote] PP here with the writeup. The covid era changes have been, among other things (Public Service Loan Forgiveness changes), that all federal student loans have been interest free since April 2020. They will continue to be interest free until at least until late August 2022, possibly later. So people have not had to make payments on federal loans: stafford loans, parent plus loans or graduate plus loans since April 2020. [/quote]
